Not a great deal, but some of the 'changes' that have occurred over time:

Strings are seldom gut, and are usually nylon, some of them are wound with aluminum wire.

Geared pegs are more common than the original friction pegs, a variety of which is still common.

Woods have changed over time, the original ukuleles were made of koa a fast growing wood found in Hawaii, now they are made in many different woods and materials.

The wood used today is often a laminate rather than solid wood. This is more stable and is less likely to split and be affected by humidity then solid woods. They are less likely to split, but there are many that feel solid woods provide a better sound. The laminates are much less expensive then the solid wood ones.

Plastics are incorporated in some ukuleles, the Flea and Fluke having plastic bodies and many having a plastic fretboard. There are many unusual shapes available as well.

The development of the electric ukulele is another recent change.

I think ukuleleworld is the best site for ukuleles. they have over 20 brands of ukuleles and they have every thing you need to get started. I own over 35 ukuleles and I have bought 25 of them from ukuleleworld.com

Pretty much any ukulele can be used to play jazz. The tuning and string selection can vary to meet the needs of the music you are playing. Many like the reverberating ukulele for jazz and some really prefer the banjolele for the jazz sounds. Some like the ones with the S shaped sound holes rather than the single round hole in the middle.

Lyle Ritz, one of the top Jazz players on the ukulele, uses a Ko'olau Tenor Ukulele.

The ukulele sometimes abbreviated to uke, is a member of the lute family of instruments; it generally employs four nylon or gut strings or four courses of stringsAnswer this question…

I'm sure you can buy ukulele's in Mexico. It isn't a common instrument there, but it isn't common anywhere. And you can always purchase over the internet.

The primary sizes are standard (aka soprano), concert and tenor. There is also the baritone, which is tuned differently. You can also get smaller sopraninos.

Julia Gillard is 56 years old (birthdate: September 29, 1961).

A standard ukulele is a soprano ukulele. Most soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles are tuned the same, but there are a variety of choices. Most are set up with a G'CEA tuning, but there are other set ups for certain types of music.

Size is the biggest difference, the ukulele is smaller and has a much shorter fret board. An ukulele typically only has 4 strings, rather than 6 of a guitar, but you can get them with 8 strings, they double up the notes.

The ukulele was originally developed in Hawaii, which was a country at the time. Now it is part of the US. It was based on an instrument from the Portuguese islands of Madeira.

It all depends on what you consider 'not too expensive.'

You can get a Fluke or a flea for about $200 and they are considered very good for the price. I like the Ohana for about the same price, solid wood. There are many really nice ukuleles for about that price.

If you want something at about half that price, look at the Kala line. They have a nice variety and a couple of nice ones under $100. Lanikai also has a nice selection.

You could also check out eBay for some deals.

Like all instruments, the tuning depends on the strings and the music you want to play. The Standard, the concert and the tenors are all typically strung with the same notes today. But each artist will adjust according to his style and needs to get the music he wants from the instrument.

They are on the top. Thicker strings make lower sounds. The lowest notes are the top strings.

when Taylor swift was twelve years of age she had her guitar sitting in the corner, next to her desk. One day when her tutor saw the guitar he asked Taylor if she knew how to play. Taylor said "no". Her tutor knew how and taught her to play guitar.

On a Ukulele with a GCEA tuning, the A minor chord is formed with the pointer finger on the second fret, fourth string.

The best I've found is the link below that provides a chord chart:

None of the online sources even indicate that John Mayer plays the ukulele. They list guitar, mandolin and piano. It wouldn't be hard for him to play a ukulele, particularly a Baritone Ukulele.

You will have to figure it out from many different hints. The design of the CF Martin logo is a big help and can narrow down the time frame to within a decade or so. The link below can help, the logo and stamping patterns are shown.

There are over 13 different strumming patterns for the ukulele but the most common is DDUUD, with D being Down and U being Up.

The link in the 'Related Links' section shows more of the other strums.

Cultures are often defined by their musical heritage. In Hawaii, the last few generations of the Kings and Queens to rule the country were avid supporters of the ukulele and wrote and performed with this instrument. To the people of Hawaii, it takes them back to a different time frame, one in which they ruled their own country without the influence of big business and commercialism.
